	The Cursed Ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cursed Ring is a structure of ideas which Danish author Peter Kjaerulff believes to found to be behind Plato's "The Ring of Gyges" (mentioned in Plato's Republic), Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" and J.
		At the center of the Cursed Ring lies the deep notion that the human being is utterly and desperately alone (as also suggested by Tolkien's "One Ring").
		The ideas can be likened to rings, because they confirm themselves; if you believe that it is not possible to communicate with the other sex, there's no need to challenge the assumption, because "it is not possible to communicate with the other sex".
